Proper Printing of Tables

There needs to be a way to print tables which have too many rows as to fit on one page. Additionally, the inclusion of filters and data slicers should be at the top of each printed table/matrix so the user knows what he is looking at.

I'm really not sure why these features aren't included by default. There's been a big buy-in for PowerBI here, and we've put many hours investigating migrating on-prem cusotm reports to PowerBI only to find that we can't print anything!

Being able to label any visualization with the slicers/filters selected would be really good -- whether printing or just viewing.

I think not being able to properly print a table is a big disappointment for potential power bi clients.

'This is a must for any BI tool In my opinion, this can work: - As pivot table in excel, you cannot place elements in the bottom of the table so it can grow down as needed - Or defining which elements belong to a "header section" (which must be repeated in all the pages) and which elements belong to a "detail section" Please let us know if you are going to move forward with this.

Also printed tables don't look the same as presented in the report or dashboard - must be fixed as well.

Indeed. I just spent a lot of time putting together (what should have been) a simple dynamic list of group members intended to be printed, only to find that you can't really print it since if it is a long list, only one page is printed and the list is cut off. Please guys, stop working on all the fancy bells ans whistles, and fix the very basic things first (e.g. printing, word wrap, etc...).

Please fix printing for tables! They currently print with weird formatting (not what it looks like on the dashboard) and you can't see all the data.

This is definitely a needed feature. Many users may want to view tabular data that goes past what is simply displayed on the screen and would otherwise require scrolling to view. Microsoft needs to find an ability to have users print only the "top" certain number of pages since some tables may contain hundreds of thousands (or more) rows. I think this would be a good solution to the problem by allowing users to print "X" number of pages of a table.

Unfortunate that the printing options are so simplistic. Seems pretty backward to have to export the data into Excel and have to re-format everything again to be able to print more than one page worth of table. An ability to include table filters would also be a great addition.

In my case, this feature is a must simply because when you want to share data/report to someone who has no access to PowerBI or 0365 - you could via PDF or PowerPoint!
